Academic-based Therapeutic Treatment Programsfor Adolescents

Did you know that therapeutic boarding schools provide individual academic attention with a good balance between scholastic achievement and clinical treatment? In a therapeutic boarding school troubled teens are provided with a positive environment where they receive needed therapy all the opportunity to improve academically.

Christian boarding schools for troubled teenagers are built on Christian values and superior scholastic programming. The Christian therapeutic boarding schools we recommend focus on Christ's mission and purpose, such as empathy and forgiveness. This is different from the restrictions and tough discipline typically found at Christian private schools.

In addition to boarding schools, we have found wilderness therapy programs to be very effective in helping troubled teens. Wilderness therapy camps offer teenagers a safe and inspiring environment where they can rebuild important family and peer relationships. Wilderness therapy programs also improve a teen's self-esteem, anger management, and emotional intelligence.

Is your child addicted to drugs or alcohol? We also offer youth treatment centers that solely focus on drug and alcohol recovery, including many that offer home placement programs with a one-year minimum stay.

Many of the top drug treatment centers offer drug screening, outpatient services, long-term residential treatment, college and career prep workshops, and much more. The treatment programs we represent are equipped with licensed medical doctors, Masters level therapists, and accredited teachers.
